Hi! My name is Rachel, and I’m a sophomore Aerospace Engineering major. Born and raised in New England, I’ve lived in Upton, Mass almost my whole life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My family includes a mom who is always sewing or painting and an engineer father, so I grew up seeing how both art and engineering intertwine. I really enjoy the design aspects of engineering, as well as 3D modeling. While I dabble occasionally in 2D art, I am much more passionate about 3D art and items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a lot of experience with 3D modeling and some experience 3D printing, and I have taken multiple physical art classes as well as one digital art class where I got to play around with Illustrator. I also love crafts, like crocheting, knitting, painting, origami, sculpting, painting, jewelry making and more. I even made a blog during high school about various craft forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My main craft is crochet, as you’ll see from my portfolio. I love making tangible items especially as gifts for others. I like making stuffed animals, hats, scarves, toys, headbands, and more. It was quite a journey to finding crochet- I began with rainbow loom in elementary school, and as I got more advanced with it, I found loom knitting (knitting not with needles, but using pegs on a circular\/rectangular board). I was a passionate loom knitter for many years, then tried my hand at knitting, and eventually found crocheting about 4 years ago and haven’t stopped since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I gained experience in a makerspace in high school, where I made a lot of CAD designs and utilized the FDM 3D printers. I also took a deep dive into learning about resin 3D printers at one of my previous jobs. I am excited to expand my knowledge within Makerspaces and use the laser cutter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m also not great at photography! Most of my portfolio photos had been taken quickly rather than for quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I apologize for the post being so long, but I wanted to show some different mediums. Here’s some of my previous work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crocheted multicolored octopi, a blueberry colored cow, a reversable happy-sad octopus, and a mushroom cross-body bag<\/p>\n\n\n\n
